Agricultural Animal Diseases

Animal disease outbreaks pose a significant social and economic threat toward human health, the management and veterinary care of farm animals and fish, and the production of animal-based products such as meat, milk, eggs, leather, and wool. To prevent the spread of infectious animal diseases, it is the responsibility of the animal husbandry industry to ensure the health and safety of livestock through routine vaccination and medical care.

To aid in the prevention and treatment of animal disease, ATCC has acquired and authenticated a vast array of pathogenic microbial strains known to cause debilitating or life-threatening illnesses in livestock, including the causative agents of:

Shipping fever

Johne's disease

Foot rot

Tetanus

Bluetongue disease

And more...

ATCC® Genuine Cultures and Genuine Nucleics are fully authenticated and characterized, so you can get your research moving faster with controls you can trust!
